#4657, "News on Brakes. . . ."


          

I emailed M&S Recycling about getting the calipers from the GSX and I was gonna get EBC pads and Power Slut rotors instead of stock.


Here was the email back to me.

Hello Kyle, those brake conversions cost $250 and that
includes calipers and rotors, we are also developing a 4 PISTON 3000GT VR-4 caliper kit for the 1G and 2G DSM's

They must have figured out how to make the 4 piston brakes work with smaller wheels, or maybe you have to have 17's or larger.

Haha I wonder how they did it. You'd need 17s I would believe, they barely fit in the 3000GT VR4s wheels already. haha that seems like overkill though. I'm still searching for some cheap 2 piston calipers. Almost had them too... emoji


Grrr it's gonna eat you up!

I have a friend who fitted the VR-4 4-pistong calipers a long time ago. They will only fit on SOME 17's and will fit on 18's. The 17 has to be a large 17 to clear them. I would recommend just do the GSX brakes and if you still want to go larger then the AEM upgrade from RRE as they are the best place to go.
